This, despite the fact that Oregon saw its 31-0 halftime lead slowly (but surely, very surely) melt away as the game progressed. Lockie, who entered action in place of Vernon Adams after the latter suffered a head injury in the second quarter, had just 36 passing yards in the contest. It's one of the more curious coaching decisions we've seen this season. It's not just that Lockie was bad. It's that Lockie barely existed in the statistics at all, despite playing five quarters of football. Jan 3 - 12:33 AM

Adams started the contest, but a hard hit near the end of the second quarter would sideline him for the remainder of the game. Enter Lockie, who led Oregon to zero points in his pre-overtime work. Yikes. It's not fair to ladle all the blame on the 6-foot-2, 200-pound redshirt junior. He wasn't supposed to be in the game to begin with and beyond that--and more importantly--Oregon's defense blew a 31-point advantage. Adams is now done with the Ducks, which could pave the way for fellow graduate transfer Dakota Prukop, who'll come over from Montana State in the spring. About that defense, though. Jan 2 - 11:36 PM

Lockie was filling in for Vernon Adams, who is currently dealing with a broken right index finger. On his first touchdown toss, the 6-foot-2, 200-pound redshirt junior hit Dwayne Stanford on a short screen from 35 yards out. Stanford proceeded to scamper to the end zone. Lockie also hooked up with Johnny Mundt for an 11-yard score in the third quarter. Oregon hosts Utah next weekend and if Lockie starts in that one, the match-up should prove a tougher test.

Adams has reportedly practiced sparingly while dealing with a broken right index finger, and Lockie has taken all first team reps. "As the week moved along it became increasingly clearer that the Ducks would likely go with Lockie and give Adams a week off before Pac-12 play begins..." Fentress writes. Adams was chosen as the starter over Lockie during preseason camp. Oregon open Oac-12 play in their next game against Utah. Sat, Sep 19, 2015 09:34:00 AM
